About The Mustard Seed Edmonton

The Mustard Seed Edmonton was first planted in 1988 in the old Central Baptist Church on 96th Street where it blossomed into a haven for low-income individuals and families. Today, hundreds of people rely on the organization for food, clothing, counseling and other support services such as housing assistance, employment coaching and spiritual development.

We recognize that the root causes of poverty and homelessness are complex and diverse, so we continue to grow and evolve with the needs of those we serve.

Funds raised at Coldest Night of the Year 2018, will support the development of a Family Health Centre in the Queen Mary Park neighbourhood. The Family Health Centre will focus on bringing quality, multidisciplinary supports to the areas of mental and physical health.
